WHITE CaRysANrHEMUMs.

Born OF the clouds and darkness,
OF the trosts and carly snow;
When the summer blooms have faded,
The beautiful Christ flowers blow,
All through the budding spring time
All through the summers heat,
All through the autumn's glory,
They hide their blossoms sweet,
But when the earth is lonely,
Aud the bitter north winds blow,
with smile OF cheer for the dear old year,
The Christmas blossoms blow.
Sweet as a dream Of summer,
white as the drifting snow;
When our hearts are filled with grevlng,
The beautiful Christ flowers blow.
Not all the south winds wooing
Opens their secret heart;
Slender they grow and stately,
Guarding their life apart.
But when the earth Is dreary,
And the heavy clouds hang low,
with their tender cheer for the wayWOrn year
The Christmas blossoms blow,
Sweetest of all oonsolersi
Fairost of aowers that grow
when hopes and llowers have faded,
The beautiful Christ flowers blow.
Bright IN the cottage window,
Sweet In the darkened room,
Fair In the shortened sunlight
Cheering the dusky gloom.
oh, when our hearts are lonely,
And clouds Of care hang low,
With blessed cheer for the dying year,
The Christmas blossoms blow,

GENERAL srARKs, LETTER.

The letter Of General Sparks, In
which he replies to the recent COM
munication of Secretary Lamar, and at
the same time tenders his resignation
as Commissioner Of the General Land
Office, will be read with interest. Con.
sidering the impulsivc character Of
the writer and the impatcnco with
which he Is accustomed to resent criti.
clsm, the letter is mild hammered and
dignitied in the extreme, free of all
personal bitterness and appropriately
beiltting the serious nature of the occa.
sion.
Commissioner Sparks is not forget.

cate as he may the manner in which he
has discharged the duties of his office,
and make clear the real nature of the
issues presented by the recent contro.
versy. Evidently he holds that the
Secretary is In crror-that the Issue, to
use his own language has been diverted
from one of legal construction to one
of authority and insubordlnation; that
force has been substituted for argu.
mGnt; that the public mind has been
prejudiced thereby as to the real merits
Of the case.
lie also urges that when questions
Of legal construction arise and the
representatives of railroad corporations,
under the practice Of the Department.
are allowed to apply for reviews and
reconslderRtions, the Commissioner of
the Land Office. by the mere virtue of
his position and It's functions, should
have at least an equal right with the
representatives of private interests to
ask the Secretary of the Interior to
re.examinc a departmental decision.
This Is about the strongest point made
in the letter, and is more than an
insinuation that the administration of
the Interior Department has not
been conducted on strictly impartial
methods, so far as the land. grant rail.
roads are concerned.
On the whole, General Sparks has
made out a good case. He has the
reputation Of being one Of the most
honest mon in the service, and there is
nothing In the letter calculatedto to dis.
lodge the impression that, whatever
mistakes he may have committed, he
has been Invariably guided by desire
to protect the public domain from
the rapacity OF corporations In the In.
terest of actual settlers, and to permit
no invasion Of the public lands not
plainly warranted by law.
